These Cinnamon Roll Muffins are a delightful twist on classic cinnamon rolls. They're perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat any time of day.

Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 tablespoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted. 2 large eggs. 1 cup milk. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup brown sugar, packed. 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon. 1 cup powdered sugar. 2-3 tablespoons milk. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Instructions: Warm your oven up to 350 F 175C and put paper liners in a muffin tin. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl using a whisk. Melt the butter and add the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix them together just until they are mixed. Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a different bowl until the mixture turns into a crumbly mess. This is the cinnamon swirl. Put half of the muffin batter into each muffin cup. Put a small amount of the cinnamon swirl mix on top of the batter in each cup. Add more batter to each muffin cup until they are about two thirds full. Add the cinnamon mixture to each muffin cup and mix it in with a toothpick or a knife. Put muffins in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to a bowl and whisk them together until smooth. Do this while the muffins are baking. After the muffins are done, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. Add the glaze to the muffins after they have cooled.
